RANDOM SHOW

RANDOM SHOW is the “I want to listen to something tonight” command. It picks a random show and returns its full setlist.

Synopsis#

RANDOM SHOW [ FROM date_or_era ];

Examples#

RANDOM SHOW;

RANDOM SHOW FROM PRIMAL;
RANDOM SHOW FROM EUROPE72;
RANDOM SHOW FROM BRENT_ERA;

RANDOM SHOW FROM 1977;

Tips#

• Every run returns a different show — it’s truly random.
• The result is a full setlist (same format as SETLIST FOR).
• Pair with an era to stay in a specific period of the Dead’s history.
